3 years ago, I got to play football at the level I always dreamed of playing. It was nothing short of incredible, but at the end of that year, it was gone. My whole life I worked to get there and in a moment I was simply no longer allowed to play. I tried every route I could to play in the States, but every door shut on me. I almost gave up trying to play again, but many people in my life encouraged and supported me to keep going, so I did. I would come to find out that professional football is actually a real thing in Germany of all places, so I packed my bags and flew across the Atlantic. 8,500 kilometers to play a sport, but more importantly, so that I could one day say, "I didn't quit." I know it's not the NFL, I didn't get paid millions, and there's not 100,000 fans at each game, but I got to play football again. That's all that matters.
This video is dedicated to EVERY one of you who have supported me along the way. Without you, I would never have made it. THANK YOU.
